All the action is scheduled to get underway at 1pm local time.
Best Bet at Sha Tin: Fast Network
Fast Network is on the verge of a hat-trick of wins down the Sha Tin straight. The son of Wrote put them away stylishly first-up on September 8, storming past a gallant Cheval Valiant to score by 1.5 lengths. The runner-up has already franked the form going on to claim victory since, and although Fast Network will face his first true test in Class 3 company, this guy appears ready to continue his winning ways for the Dennis Yip barn.

Race 7 – #7 Fast Network (11)

Next Best at Sha Tin: Divano
Divano didn’t miss the frame in four starts last preparation and appears to have plenty of upside. The son of Brave Smash only found one better in the form of Bottomuptogether on July 1, and although he was no match for the winner, the four-year-old burst clear of his remaining rivals. Barrier nine looks tricky on resumption, but with Hong Kong’s leading hoop Zac Purton in the saddle, expect Divano to gain an economical run throughout before charging to the front in the final furlong.

Best Value at Sha Tin: Lucky Eight
Lucky Eight returns after a 20-week spell and should appreciate dropping back into Class 4 company. The gelding by Pride Of Dubai has only ever raced once in this grade, claiming victory at Happy Valley in March of 2023. He’s been consistent without winning in Class 3 ever since, and on the back of two eye-catching barrier trials, the six-year-old appears to be nearing his best. Jerry Chau should get the gun run from barrier three, and provided he gets clear turning for home, Lucky Eight will appear over the odds with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 5 – #1 Lucky Eight (3)
6yo Gelding | T: Ricky Yiu | J: Jerry Chau (a1kg) (61kg)
